For those not in the know, every once in a while the nice folks at  like to release a snapshot of the upcoming builds – Today is one of those days! Snapshot 12w06a is available for download, bringing with it a hefty look at some of the changes in the upcoming .

Links to download the snapshot build and client server will be at the bottom of the post, for now though let’s look at the upcoming changes:

  • Minor fixes and tweaks
  • Doors should now properly detect if they’re open or closed. Existing double doors will need to be re-placed
  • Villagers will head inside at night and during rain to socialize
  • Zombies can (and will) break down your doors on hard mode
  • Meow!!  (More cat sounds!)
  • Mobs move better in water, unfortunately
  • Added Rare mob item drops

As well as these changes Jeb  has been talking about some more radical changes. One such proposed idea will raise the virtual cap on the world, making it possible to build further up. The trouble comes in adding this change to existing worlds, at the moment it’s being worked on but it may be a while before you can start building those skyscrapers.

    Do you simply snap your wrists or do you pull your stick back again a couple of inches and than snap your wrists and the puck? How do the pros make it search like they never ever pull the puck back yet are in a position to snap it top shelf whilst skating down the slot in entrance of the goalie? I have a reliable wrist shot and for a snapshot can snap the puck each ways, pulling it again or not pulling the puck back. But which is the appropriate way and which way ought to i be working on to make the shot more powerful?
